Clear nights often mean high pressure sytems which often means cold air. Cloudy nights often mean low pressure systems which often mean warm air.
because of the greenhouse effect
Warmer, they have a greenhouse effect and trap heat.
the difference there is that in a clear night night the temperature is cool y in a cloudy night it is somehow warm
There is no cloud cover to reflect heat back to the surface. Heat escapes into space.
Clouds act as a kind of blanket for our atmosphere, trapping in heat. A clear night does not retain as much heat, so tend to be colder.
because of the greenhouse effect
When the air is clear, heat radiates from the ground into space, with a temperature difference of about 290 degrees C. ("Space" has a temperature of about -270 degrees C, or 4 degrees Kelvin.) When there are clouds, the ground radiates heat to the clouds, with a temperature difference of a few dozen degrees C.

Clouds prevent heat from being radiated out into space, it is reflected back to earth, much like a blanket keeps you warm.
Generally, yes. Radiative cooling when there are no clouds makes things cooler - all things being equal , of course...
Cloudy to clear
Because the clouds cover up the cold air that tries to get into Earth.
WHERE??? CLEAR AND CLOUDY WHERE??? CLEAR AND CLOUDY
